Harbor Market & Lift Gantry
Harbor Market & Lift Gantry is a crowded cliffside dock market wedged into a narrow shelf of stone and timber, where every open span has been claimed by stalls, storage, and swinging lines.
Colorful awnings stretch between posts, lantern light pools over worn cobbles, and stacks of crates form a maze of quick deals and quicker exits. The space feels lived-in and loud—barrels, nets, and bundled cargo packed tight against the cliff wall—while the ocean’s churn below reminds everyone that this market sits on the edge of something hungry.
The gantry and its elevated runs loom over the scene like a spine of authority, with rope rails and walkways tracing the perimeter above the stalls. From these higher lanes, overseers and brokers can watch the market floor—and reach the lift controls without ever wading into the crowd. Hooks, lines, and hanging gear sway over the thoroughfares, turning gusts of wind into sudden hazards and giving clever combatants plenty of objects to cut, swing, or weaponize. Here, a brawl doesn’t just spread—it ricochets, bouncing from stall to railing to lift platform in a heartbeat.
Intended Use:
This map is built for dense, street-level encounters where movement is constrained and choices are immediate. The packed lanes naturally create chokepoints for ambushes, shake-downs, and raids, while the abundance of crates, benches, and stall frames provides frequent half cover for skirmishers and ranged threats. It’s an excellent stage for fights that start with roleplay—an argument at a stall, a botched exchange, a guard inspection—and then spiral into chaos as the market turns into a terrain puzzle.
